romney is the one that has to dislodge voters from the president. i look at the polling in this case, it does turn the expectations on its head in one respect. the challenge is not so much to make a case for president obama, as it is to make a case for himself. it has been able to --. he will do better over the next four years, in particular, he is suffering from -- that he does not relate to or really care about the lives of average working people, i think that is much more of a challenge for him, he didn't really do it as much as he needed to at the convention, that i think is job number one, more than making a case against the president. >> when you talk about making a case for himself, for romney, it would seem like health care might be a hallmark in which to do so, he talks about bringing universal health care, but on the other hand revealing all or parts of the president's plan, he's really kind of between on what to do about health care, does he tout it? it was an accomplishment for him or does he downplay it because he wants to criticize the

romney's egregiously bad polling numbers seem to be calcifying and when most voters are now starting to vote. an incredibly negative impact for romney and his campaign at a difficult time for them. now on the eve of the first presidential debate, if they were hoping to put that behind them, any hope of getting away from the issue has now been expunged because "the huffington post" tonight set off its own bells and whistles, flashing siren bomb shell by posting previously uncirculated video of paul ryan speaking less than a year ago. and what will effect the debate tomorrow is mr. ryan in these comments makes the same case romney was making when he made the devastating 47% remarks. in ryan's case, he doesn't use the 47%. he picks a different figure. for him the figure is 30%. you may remember ryan himself his response to that disastrous tape of mr. romney at the fundraiser was that romney was, quote, obviously inarticulate in making his point about the proportion of americans who are dependent on the government, victims and not worth his time. here's how paul ryan makes that same poin

this is apparently a real romney campaign flyer sent to voters in northern virginia. quote, romney/ryan doing more to fight the spread of lyme disease. this is first posted today by mother johns. here's another page of the flyer. what can a president do about lyme disease? really now? is mitt romney running for president because of tick-borne illness? really? or is somebody else on the campaign food chain making the decisions about what to campaign on? because it is when the freelancing happens, when people start getting desperate and taking matters into their own hands, that then maybe you get a presidential campaign that's trying to be about tick-borne diseases related to deer. maybe that will work in northern virginia? and sometimes it's your buddy, the other mogul with the yacht singing your yacht parking praises. because who among us has not had this challenge. then sometimes it's exactly what you think it's going to be. >> y'all sound like y'all are senior citizens, right? yeah, we don't want -- you don't want obama. you really don't want obama, because he'll ge
